In each group of questions, below are two/three statements followed b...
Statements:
1. No note is a coin.
2. Some coins are metals.
3. All plastics are notes.
Conclusions:
I. No coin is plastic.
II. All plastics being metals is a possibility.
Explanation:
To determine which conclusions logically follow from the given statements, we need to analyze the statements and their implications.
1. No note is a coin.
This statement establishes a relationship between notes and coins, stating that there is no overlap between the two categories. It means that there are no notes that are also coins.
2. Some coins are metals.
This statement suggests that there is a subset of coins that belong to the category of metals. However, it does not imply that all coins are metals.
3. All plastics are notes.
This statement indicates that every plastic item falls into the category of notes. It implies that there is no plastic item that is not a note.
Now let's evaluate the conclusions:
Conclusion I: No coin is plastic.
Based on the given statements, we can see that there is no direct relationship established between coins and plastics. The first statement tells us that no note is a coin, but it does not provide any information about the relationship between coins and plastics. Therefore, we cannot conclude that no coin is plastic based on the given statements. So, conclusion I does not logically follow.
Conclusion II: All plastics being metals is a possibility.
The second statement states that some coins are metals, which means there is a subset of coins that belong to the category of metals. However, there is no direct connection between plastics and metals established in the given statements. Therefore, we cannot conclude that all plastics being metals is a possibility based on the given statements. So, conclusion II does not logically follow.
Therefore, only conclusion I does not follow from the given statements. The correct answer is option 'A': If only conclusion I follows.
